New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is expected to travel to Canada next week and hold meetings with his counterpart Anita Anand and likely call on Prime Minister Mark Carney. He is also expected to attend the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting there.
The visit comes as the two nations continue to rebuild ties following the political thaw set in motion by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Carney earlier this year. Modi had travelled to Canada in June for the G7 leaders’ summit, where he met Carney.
Jaishankar’s visit is due around the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting scheduled to take place on 11 and 12 November in Ontario. It would mark the second set of high-level engagements between New Delhi and Ottawa in as many months. Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand had travelled to India last month and held talks with Jaishankar while also calling on Modi.
